What is the difference between performance art and theater?
PERFORMANCE ART• Is not the same as theater
• This is real, you cannot do it over
• The blades are real, the blood is real, all of it is real
• In performance art you do not rehearse your pieces
• REMEMBER: We will not be practicing what Marina practices because it is too dangerous but it is still important to learn the elements of performance art
